Slideshow: Bush Inauguration But in reality, it was just a sign of respect for the University of Texas Longhorns, whose fans are known to shout out "Hook 'em, horns!" The president and family were photographed lifting their right hands with their index and pinky fingers raised up, much like a horn. But in much of the world those "horns" are a sign of the devil. In the No rdics, the hand gesture is popular among death metal and black metal gro ups and fans. "Shock greeting from Bush daughter," a headline in the Norwegian Internet newspaper Nettavisen said late Wednesday above a photograph of Bush's d aughter, Jenna, smiling and showing the sign. Bush, a former Texas governor, was simply greeting the Texas Longhorn mar ching band as it passed during a Washington DC parade in the president 's honor, explained Verdens Gang, Norway's largest newspaper. Just the same, the Internet was abuzz Thursday with speculation about wha t the Bushes really mean by the sign.
